Mike Sonko is my greatest hero

I have never at any time forgotten to write the name of Mike Sonko in my yonder list of heroes. This time for the first time I take my pen to note him down as my friend, my brother, my father and my governor. He is an influential leader who has tailored many ideas from steps to stride, and from the leaders we have today, he could not have been cut from the same piece of cloth with them.

The friend I know is the man you all know, a champion for justice for all. When a church was being demolished, he made an important call to the President and saved the situation. I celebrate him each second of everyday for his incisive contribution towards ensuring that ordinary citizens get hope in life again after all is lost. Case in point is Mzee Ojwang who got his eyesight back thanks to Sonko.
